About this Event

Wine & Dine with First Graduate

Join the First Graduate Associate Board for an evening of wine tasting and fundraising to support local first-generation students with their goals of becoming the first in their family to graduate from college.

First Graduate is a local San Francisco based non-profit with the aim of bridging the education opportunity gap. We work closely with and mentor 400+ first generation students each year, providing support and access to enable them to be the first in their family to graduate from college and pursue meaningful careers.

Enjoy curated wines from Salty Goat Winery and indulge in delicious bites from Palmyra SF, all while hearing inspiring stories that highlight the impact of your donation. It’s more than just a night out—it’s a chance to connect, give back, and be part of something meaningful.

Our aim is to raise funds for First Graduate’s students and connect Bay Area professionals with one another and volunteer opportunities within our organization. Please feel free to share this with anyone in your network to join us!

We have two ticket tiers:

General Admission ($115) - One GA ticket gives you access to the venue, food, and 3 wine tastings.

Premium ($180) [LIMITED QUANTITY] - In addition to GA benefits, Premium ticketholders will be entered in a drawing to win exclusive prizes and have access to tastings of limited bottles. Prizes include:

A signed bottle from Klay Thompson (valued at $300)
An in-home family photography session with the award-winning Josua Ets-Hokin and a hand printed 11x16 photograph, matted and framed (valued at $2,500)

...and more!

If you can't make the event but would still like to support First Graduate and its mission, feel free to donate via Eventbrite or directly on the First Graduate website. We greatly appreciate any support you can offer. Your contribution will be well-spent on first-gen students as they strive to achieve their dreams!
